32 months and 56k miles into this vehicle and I had to have warranty work done. I had the TPMS error light come on (not the squishy tire one) indicating some kind of error. Turns out it was a failed wheel sensor. Outside of a flat and replacing the battery, I'm pretty impressed with how she is holding up.

I had some of the 60k mile service list done while they had it and found it needed brakes in the rear. The fronts have 15% left.

They gave me a loaner that was the new / current body style & it made me appreciate what I have even more. It had 30k miles on it and the road noise seemed much louder than mine. The interior was nice, but I just didn't like the steering and pedal feel.

There was a rubberish grey texture on the lower corners of the wheel where the it was peeling to reveal the plastic underneath. Has anybody else with the newer Hyundai interiors noticed that yet?

Hey-I've heard of some steering wheels peeling on the newer Elantras. Neither my '11 or current '13 have done that...so far. My other car, which is ten years old now, hasn't done that, nor has the wood cracked. I have come across comments regarding other brands doing the same thing.
